RE: Anoka County Ballot shading
Title:
Okay, it looks like background shading, color,
reverse text, and thick lines are here to stay.
To each of the rich text editors (vgroup, race,
candidate, header) we will add a background color selection (including
grayscale) and a foreground color selection. We can support a background
color for each of the text blocks, but we still won't be able to on a
word-by-word basis (because of limitations in our RTF control). This
should work well for Anoka and similar. A windows metafile will still
need to be used for reverse "PROPOSITION" text headings when the rest of the
prop text is plain though. The background
and color features will work well for the AVTS as well.
The thick line portion of this RCR was also brought
up recently by Jeff in his "Gems - Creating columns on the ballot" RCR.
Two requests makes quorum, so we'll see what we can do about that too.
GEMS 1.15 now allows users to select top, bottom, left, and right lines around
the race box. We used to only control top/bottom and left/right as a
pair. We can't control the line thickness as a global since Anoka only
wants the left line to be thick. I guess that means four drop down boxes
with line widths instead of four check marks. Straightforward
enough.
We don't have a timeframe for implementing this
right now, but it is not too huge an undertaking. I know these
features are desired in other accounts for other reasons. We are on top of
primary printing season now, but we could have something ready for the next
printing window. Let us know what kind of pressure we are talking
about here, and we'll get it done accordingly.
